…says Rohee as party rewards high flyers
The People’s Progressive Party (PPP), yesterday, rewarded the six top performers at the recent National Grade Six Assessment Examination by presenting each of them with books and an electronic tablet.
Party Chairman, Zulfikar Mustapha, prior to the handing over told those present, among them the parents of the students, that the PPP placed emphasis on education, ever since taking office. It has sought to ensure substantial investments in the sector.
Party General Secretary, Clement Rohee, who initiated moves to reward the successful students, prior to handing over the tokens, said that in Guyana there are rarely bright spots in the world of politics.
As such, he said that in the political arena, people are always on the lookout for success stories such as those who performed well at the examinations, “because the bright spots are an indication of the progress that our country is making. These are positive signs.”
According to Rohee, each of the students represents the future of the country.
Rohee said that as a party, the PPP follows activities such as the Grade Six examinations very closely.
“We pay very close attention to students who would pass exams and we pay very close attention to students who did not pass exams because it means perhaps that we might be failing in some areas,” according to Rohee.
He said that with the failures the administration would look to see where exactly they are failing the students and seek to rectify the situation, be it in teaching or social work.
Rohee pointed to the fact that many students in Guyana come from single parent homes or broken homes or situations over which they have no control and as such it is the responsibility of the State to ensure that no child is left behind.
